Abstract

Thailand a country of 65 million people, has had an active AI community for almost three decades. With limited research funding (less than 1% of GDP), AI reserchers have had to maintain a focus on producing concrete results. They have set clear research goals to ensure that 'Smart' or 'Intelligent' systems are developed and applied to help reduce costs, improve efficiency, and increase productivity in integrated public services.
